    Is all good, anyone questioning it can run through those questions themselves.

    I also like to ask people where Cuba gets their weapons, ammunition and fuel from. Also Burkina Faso, Venezuela, Bolivia (under MAS), Iran (who supplies palestinian resistance), DPRK, etc etc. Some of which they’ll object to being mentioned in the anti-imperialist camp at all but the question still remains, where do they get their weapons, supplies, fuel and other essentials from and what happens if that place suddenly didn’t exist tomorrow because nato magically eliminated it or whatever the fuck goes through these people’s heads.

    Every single anti-imperialist group in the world requires them to survive. Thus the position is quite complex for anti-imperialists, even those that don’t necessarily approve of all actions occurring. But needless to say, nato is certainly the biggest threat to us in the world. Nobody has to like the current situation but understanding the geopolitical reality we exist in is essential.

    As for the ban, maybe premature, I try to teach even the baby leftists and assume naivity. I’m often proven wrong about being so patient though.

      Agreeing with you, don’t have much else to say.

      As for the ban, maybe premature, I try to teach even the baby leftists and assume naivity. I’m often proven wrong about being so patient though.

      Should have seen that you were trying to do so and since they were in an OK discussion mode and not actually shitlib-y. It’s just that my tolerance for that stuff is quite low TBH and I lack the capacity to engage with such patience as you (or god forbid on such a level as Cowbee <3)
